catch up post

Dec 17th
So we finally moved again! Andrew flew back to Canada last Friday and arrived so some pretty cold weather. Since we no longer need to wait for the bike to get repaired, we moved on. Kevin is graciously storing the bike for us. Thanks Kev!
We landed in Quartzsite on Tuesday afternoon. It was one of Gary's destination choices so here we are. The RV park he found borders on BLM land and allows atv's and stuffs. It was the choice since Andrew could ride right out the door and hit the dirt blazing. Well on arrival its not quite what the website said lol We inquired as to rates and were told the monthly plus power was probably our best deal since we were going to stay 2 or 3 weeks. Imagine our surprise when we realized the monthly sites are 55+ and she thought Gary was 55! I nearly died laughing! Its definitely a good deal though. So we will use it as a base for now to scout out the dry camping areas around here and possibly touch base with people we know that are in Yuma.

Still slacking on the whole picture taking. We have taken a few but I'm really bad at getting them on here. We checked out the town a bit. It looks like a huge fair ready to happen. I'm not sure what all to expect come January but I think every rockhound on this continent that can, will be here! The vendors are trickling in slowly... I think i'm glad we will only be here for a bit when its fully loaded. That's alot of old people looking at rocks.. wondering if the fossils are long lost family? lol All kidding aside, it will be a majorly busy place to be sure! I think i need to do a bit more research as to what exactly is around here so i have more to share! For now we are just mainly relaxing! Gary is puttering on the trailer (like a little old man should teehee) and i have got alot of reading and stitching and enjoying the sun a bit more lately.
Well, hopefully we will be doing more so that i have something exciting to post here for your enjoyment! If not, then I'll keep you up to date on our boring little lives!
Happy holidays and stay warm, love and hugs as always xox

Well, it's another day without snow LOL I feel somewhat sorry for all of you braving winter! We are still at Lake Pleasant waiting on Andrews bike. I think another week in this area then probably heading to Quartzsite area. There's some great trails around here for Andrew to explore and I'm happy where ever we land. The weather has been most cooperative but we are expecting some rain this week. I won't whine hehe it isn't snowing at least! :)
I think about Marilyn and Mum every morning here. There alot of little birds that I have no clue what they are. I think I saw chickadees lol but the rest are just little brown things or little grey ones hehe. I dont have a bird book here to look them up, but they sure love Jacks leftovers! Stll haven't seen a roadrunner yet though :( I should get better at the whole picture taking thing so I can post them and maybe one of you lovely readers may know what they are.
So, nothing exciting or new here lol I guess I should try to get some pictures since it's looking to be a lovely sunny day! Love and Hugs!
